Rosetta will enable Archives New Zealand to preserve millions of digitized and digitally born records in perpetuity

Jerusalem, Israel—May 2, 2011. Ex Libris® Group, a world leader in the provision of library automation technology, is pleased to announce that Archives New Zealand (Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga) has selected the Ex Libris Rosetta digital preservation solution to preserve, manage and provide access to the diverse, rapidly growing digital collections stored by Archives New Zealand.

The Rosetta digital preservation system enables institutions to manage, preserve, and provide access, in perpetuity, to institutional documents, digital images, research output in digital formats, Web sites, and other digitized and digitally born materials. Rosetta supports the acquisition, validation, ingest, storage, preservation, and dissemination of digital objects from many sources and formats while keeping this information secure and accommodating multiple digital preservation policies and strategies. Rosetta also makes the stored items available to researchers who use discovery and delivery tools such as Ex Libris Primo®.

Chief Archivist, Greg Goulding, commented: “Archives New Zealand is pleased to have selected Rosetta as the basis of our governmental digital archive solution. We are looking forward to working in collaboration with the National Library of New Zealand—an already established Rosetta site—during the implementation of our digital archive.”

“We are delighted that Archives New Zealand has selected Rosetta for the long-term preservation of the archive’s vast digital collections,” noted Oded Scharfstein, Ex Libris vice president for the Asia Pacific region. “As the first national archive to join the growing Rosetta customer base, Archives New Zealand will bring a wealth of expertise and insight to our international community. We are looking forward to working closely with Archives New Zealand both during and after the implementation of Rosetta.”
